I've searched en.opensuse.org, and I don't see a "minimum system

requirement of needing 256MB RAM.

probably the same. I couldn't install the 11 on this computer, nor
with kde4 cd (no dvd reader there) - because there is no "install"
option before going live and, even if the live goes up, there is not
enough memory left to install :-(

Net install failed as well during repository management. Mandriva
(very last version) an slackware are able to install (slack with as
little as 64Mo ram!)

but this is *not* a complain, this memory is really little nowaday.

But I was delighted to see net install go directly to servers with no
more question!! this is good.

I installed via internet and it went without a hitch w/ just 512MB of
RAM. First time I got an internet install to work ever, with multiple
distro versions of RH and Suse.. Always seemed to get farther w/ Suse
than I ever did with RH. Took less then 2 hours to do the install.
